Cristiano Ronaldo rules out January transfer!

CR7 makes on Al-Nassr future as £177 m contract in Saudi 🇸🇦 Pro League runs down. 

The five-time Ballon d'or winner is working on a record-breaking £177 million-a-year($220m) deal in Saudi 🇸🇦 Pro League .

Those terms,which were agreed when heading to the Middle East early in 2023 are due to expire in the summer.

There has been talk of Ronaldo readying himself for another new challenge,with a return to Europe being speculated on for evergreen front man,but no change of scenery is expected to be taken in before the all-time great turns 40 on February 5.

Anyway. Looking ahead,Ronaldo has several options for his future.

1.Extending his stay at Al Nassr.Given his satisfaction with the Club and the Saudi Pro League,he may choose to renew his contract beyond 2025.

2.Returning to Europe:Despite recent rumours linking him to clubs like PSG,credible sources indicate that no formal discussions have taken place,and return to European Football appears unlikely at this stage.

3.Retirement Plans:Ronaldo has expressed a desire to continue playing potentially aiming to participate in the 2026 World Cup. He has also mentioned a personal goal of playing an official match alongside his son,which serves as significant motivation for him to prolong his career.
